Confessions: DVR Edition

I have started to watch far too much tv.  Recovering from my surgery in March - tv was pretty much my life.  I mean, it's not like I could see all of it, but I got the idea.  I thought it'd be fun to linkup with Nadine and Kathy today and share all my current television confessions.

I started watching Southern Charm a few weeks back when I was flipping through the channels and there was NOTHING ON.  I liked seeing the clips of Charleston and figuring out where they were... now I'm obsessed.  I have been watching every episode of season 3 like four or five times  a piece.
I create series recordings before they start, just because the commercials suck me in.  This worked out well and I got hooked on Revenge, but I ended up just deleting Astronaut Wives Club and Wilfred when I needed the space.  Now I have 10 episodes of The Family sitting on there.  Anyone know if that one's worth it?

Kimmy Schmidt IS BACK.  My real confession is that we've already watched season 2 through three times, but I am also such a dork and have been reading random facts about the show.  Did you know that Tina Fey and Robert Carlock were specifically asked to write a show for Ellie Kemper?  Titus Andromedon was written for Titus Burgess, but they didn't tell him and still made him audition.  Jon Hamm was Ellie's eighth grad acting teacher, and the wig Tina wears in season 1 as Marcia is the same wig she wore in Liz Lemon flashbacks during 30 Rock.  Told you, I'm a nerd.
Sometimes when we need to leave the house and I'm in the middle of an SVU episode, I record the rest of it to watch later.  I mean, I watch it, but then the same episode is on like 3 days later.

I can never stay up late enough to watch SNL on Saturday nights, so I always look forward to watching them on Sunday morning.
And the biggest one - Oh My Gosh the mega Disney Channel Original Movie marathon: Brink, Zenon, Johnny Tsunami, Smart House - oh, so excited!  The only one I loved but didn't see on there was The Color of Friendship?  I need to start clearing that DVR space now.  Goodbye, The Family!

Stepping Into Summer Swap

Macy and I are so excited to team up this month for a season-inspired swap: Stepping Into Summer!  Summer means days at the beach, and what better way to get out there than with some new flip flops and perfectly pedicured toes?  Sign up through the form below to be paired with another blogger, get to know her, and go shopping for a pair of sandals and nail polish to send to her before summer begins!
Full disclosure, Macy and I didn't come up with this idea on our own.  A few years ago, I participated in a "Stepping Into Spring" swap, and I received the cutest package.  I still wear the flip flops I received from Jennifer, and it was one of my all-time favorite swaps!  If you have any questions, leave them in the comments - sign ups end on May 24th!

Brush Your Shoulders Off

Happy Monday, y'all!  Mike and I returned from Denver yesterday, so today there will be a few extra cups of coffee to make up for that time change.  We had a blast, and I can't wait to recap it all later this week.  For today's post, can I just say how much I love the off-the-shoulder and strapless dresses that are all the rage right now?  I'm in my sister-in-law's wedding at the end of July, so one of my goals for the summer is not to get any silly shoulder/strap tan lines before then.  I think the purchase of a few of these will definitely help!  I've rounded up some steals (under $50) and splurges (around $200) for you just in case you want to do some shopping at your desk to get through this Monday:

Steals under $50 each:
1 /// 2 /// 3 /// 4
5 /// 6 /// 7 /// 8

Splurges around $200 each:
1 /// 2 /// 3 /// 4
5 /// 6 /// 7 /// 8
